I am a Paine

@FElon865176 @ThirdWayMattB Yes, Biden, Obama, and Bush deported more than Trump. I am not even talking about deportations. I am specifically talking about border security. Secure the border to protect immigrants. This is what the public wants.

@Rightsof_Man @ThirdWayMattB Here’s a good article written by an organization that covers migration, not The NY Times who cover bad faith political slop and propaganda… Here’s a little AI summary too. migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-…

No, he’s trying to win the support of voters in a very red state.

@FElon865176 @ThirdWayMattB This came in April of 2024 and 50 Haitian were deported. I don't like Trump's immigration policies. I find Miller to be harsh and inhumane. The only person talking about Trump, is you. I am talking about the Leftists attacking Talarico for border security.

@Rightsof_Man @ThirdWayMattB Here’s something to directly address you and NYT lie’s about reluctance to do deportation flights. Biden sent Haitians back to Haiti in the middle of a gang takeover. You think Trump is tougher on immigration because he’s showy….sign of a weak mind. wlrn.org/americas/2024-…

@FElon865176 @ThirdWayMattB Here is a good article. Biden largely ignored border crossings. And this part jumps out. The same Leftists and Dems are upset over Talarico wanting to secure the border. nytimes.com/2025/12/07/us/…

@Rightsof_Man @ThirdWayMattB You said Biden’s response to Covid induced illegal immigration was poor—I’m asking how so when he deported more than Trump? (who mishandled Covid in more ways than just failing to deport illegals….) Also, where is the wall? What did Trump do for immigration, other than posture?

@david_darlo7 @codepink The regime is punishing Cubans. Do you even listen or talk to Cubans? Most of this is regime mismanagement. Cubans deserve their freedom and currently fighting and protesting for it now. Free elections should not be controversial.

@Rightsof_Man @codepink USA is punishing Cubans.

NOW 🇨🇺 We're on our way to Cuba! Our CODEPINK delegation to the Nuestra América convoy is carrying thousands of pounds of urgently needed humanitarian aid. We stand with Cuba!

@FElon865176 @ThirdWayMattB You are jumping all over the place. We will not protect immigrants with open borders and border chaos. America needs immigrants. Americans like immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants, but flooding the border is not the path. Talarico is right.

@Rightsof_Man @ThirdWayMattB The response was poor, yet he deported more? Hey, where’s that wall Trump built?

@david_darlo7 @codepink The regime is punishing Cubans. Cubans want their freedom. Cubans should be allowed to freely protest and vote for their future with free elections.

@Rightsof_Man @codepink Punishing Cubans today because they overthrew the brutal Batista over 60 years ago. That's reasonable?

@BrownAreolaLola The regime is doing just fine.

@Rightsof_Man Nice try. How about you post one that’s not doctored. Also, “free elections?” Kinda like those free elections that were held in Ukraine whereby Yanukovych was elected & the US triggered a color revolution to depose him after he refused to let the World Bank rape his country?

@dirtbagleft1 @codepink Yes, actually be principled. The regime has plenty of resources. Castro died a rich man with yachts, private islands, and 3 personal blood donors who traveled with him all the time.

@Rightsof_Man @codepink Spread the wealth? You mean like communism?

@david_darlo7 @codepink The embargo ends with releasing political prisoners, holding free election, and debt repayments. I support dropping the debt repayments but it is currently codified by law. The Cuban regime can end the embargo anytime they want, but they need to reform and let Cubans decide.

@Rightsof_Man @codepink Surely demand the end of the blockade first right? Priorities and that

@FElon865176 @ThirdWayMattB But we do have (delayed) estimates. The border surge was outside of Biden's control (multiple humanitarian crises, strong USA labor markets, Covid), but a poor response & sensitive to the Left. We had anti-immigration attitudes in 90's with harsh immigration policies.

@Rightsof_Man @ThirdWayMattB We have no way to tell how many border crossings there are More border encounters happened under Trump first term, though. Less deportations, too

It's not just a blip. Increasingly oil futures markets are suggesting that the Iran war is going to have (or has already had) effects that will last for years.

@neeratanden One thing I notice is that many Leftists and some Dems oppose Talarico since he believes in a strong border, but welcoming to immigrants. A strong border is different than immigration policy. And you will not protect immigrants with open borders or border chaos.

One can say this is a Talarico internal, but Trump held off on endorsing probably because GOP numbers are the same. This is a real race. Beto in 2018 was almost never ahead in the polls.

@Penny_J_Thomas I love how Medhi shuts of comments. He has been hiding like a coward for awhile. The fact is Rama has not changed. That is concerning and independent of Melania.

She's 28 now & we're supposed to believe that she didn't Google Susan Abulhawa, a Palastinian, before she agreed to do the freelance work?

@dothejackal @shannonrwatts Hamas commits sexual violence. TrackAIPAC calls it propaganda. Denies it.

@Rightsof_Man @shannonrwatts No. TrackAIPAC is neither a Hamas nor a rape apologist.

I didn’t say it did. I oppose Dems taking AIPAC money. However, that has nothing to do with the AIPAC tracker which routinely includes J Street contributions for some as AIPAC and don’t for others. It also calls out candidates who don’t take AIPAC for being pro-Israel.

@LExpeditionary @ninaturner @TrackAIPAC I am not crossing this line either top lambaste all Germans for an self-described American communist.

@Rightsof_Man @ninaturner @TrackAIPAC The person that runs that antisemitic bullshit also lives in Germany. Weird how a German hates Jews.

Calling out AIPAC is not antisemitism. Conflating pro-Israel lobbying with Judaism, however, is. @TrackAIPAC generally does good work and has done a lot to raise awareness about AIPAC.

@KyleKulinski I am willing to bet any amount of money that they will not regime change in Colombia. Anyone?

This is what they did before they abducted Maduro. They're gonna try regime change in Colombia as well. For the love of god IMPEACH HIM. 25TH AMENDMENT. HE NEEDS TO BE FUCKING STOPPED. WAKE THE FUCK UP.
